I take both. My pain mgt doctor gives me 1200mg of nerotin and 100mg of lirica 3 times a day. I was paralyzed from the chest down and have told them I don't want opiod pain pills so this was the best option. I would say it's safe, but as with any drugs I'd say consult a doctor first to make sure that's what they intended as they both are the same class of drug and it will be like basically doubling your dose.

Hello, Kaylee! How are you?

BL is correct, thank you BL for your helpful post.

To be more specific, these are both anticonvulsants that have also been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.

That said, no, you shouldn't take both, because you would be essentially doubling up on the same medication, which could result in overdose.

Is there anything else I can help with?
